.... they encounter while trying to do their jobs. In the middle is the White House press secretary Mike McCurry, a master at defusing volatile situations and walking the fine line with the press. Though less paranoid and cynical of the media than Clinton, he often finds himself on both ends of personal attacks and vendettas that veer far outside the arena of objective reporting. The anecdotes and carefully buried information that Kurtz has uncovered give this book a brisk pace, along with ample invaluable information that cuts to the core of this age of media overkill. Kurtz focuses .....

.... his/her limitations to do something significant that impacts other people's lives. A few examples would be the Spice Girls with their “girl power” phenomenon, Kordell Stewart being a great athlete, Michael Jordan winning 6 NBA titles, Barry Sanders breaking the record for the most rushing yards in a single season, and Hulk Hogan winning the WWF World Championship Title 5 times. Aside from the heroes mentioned above, there are some heroes that remain throughout all generations. These heroes are mostly people who spent much of their lives fighting for a cause, like Martin Luther King, .....

.... an emphasis upon the symbol as a means to evoke the mystery of language itself, rather than to refer to some subjective consciousness or some objective, material world. The symbol is used as a point of convergence for these unspoken things and remains deliberately ambiguous but resonant. The images created through the poet's retelling of experiences use symbols to convey their emotions. It is in the closing stanzas of Rimbaud's poem, however, that the utter hopelessness of 19th century life seems to overcome the poet, and his tone shifts from one of casual nostalgia to despair. Rimbaud's .....

.... case, and left nothing else with it to be looked after" (62). This negative light that the ruthless use of capital punishment casts upon the rulers of France is exactly what Dickens had intended. When the revolution actually takes place, the Jacques become drunk with bloodlust. Their methods of restoring order and peace are exactly the same as those they opposed: send anyone to the guillotine who disagrees with them. "They are murdering the prisoners," says Mr. Lorry to Darnay after arriving in France (260). Again Dickens uses capitol punishment as a way to show the reader the atroci .....

.... sister, rebels against Creon and buries her brother, denouncing the decree as an offense against the "law of God." Polynese, Creon's son, pleads with his father to listen to his citizens and empathize with Antigone's action. However, Creon is determined to make an example of Polyneices and demonstrate his power over the people of the state. Antigone is banished to a stone cave to die alone. Creon's pride came to be his major flaw as demonstrated during the reversal sequence in the play. A blind prophet, Theresies, calls upon Creon and informs him of the doom that would befall him .....

.... from topic to topic throughout the story, but this reoccuring theme of the lack of a house seems to be a central idea. As the narrator comtemplates, he wonders if he has just forgotten his house and proceeds to knock on the door of a random house to find out if this is what has happened. After he has explained his plight to the woman who answers the door, he begins arguing with her over having proof that it is not his house. Shortly thereafter, the narrator begins to ponder wether or not things such as concrete pipes or park benches are his house. Deciding that they are on their way to .....

.... never love anyone, at the end of the story is the only wife who comes when she is beckoned. The other wives only make up excuses. This shows how Kate has a mistaken identity becuase she appears rude and insolent. This situation is one of the ways Shakespeare uses mistaken identity to display theme. Another part of the theme is that when a person changes outfit's and roles, their personalities and attitudes stary the same. The first and most prominent role change is the one between Lucentio and Tranio. Lucentio, in order to marry Bianca, exchanges outfits with his servant Tranio in order t .....

.... backwards in such a way that the ending and the beginning of the movie are almost the same scene. This nonlinear way of shooting, combined with the brilliant acting of Travolta, and Jackson make the film one that can be watched a dozen times, and every time the viewer will take something different away from it. John Travolta is an actor whose career has seen as many downs as it has seen ups. An awe-inspiring Hollywood star of the late 70’s and early 80’s, Travolta was the youngest of six children born to tire salesman and former semi-pro football player Salvatore Travolta and high .....

.... creating morals and opinions, and how society's views have changed over time. Common stories portray good and evil through a protagonist and antagonist view. The first thing I think of when I hear "good vs. evil" would be a fairy tale. As in most fairy tales, there is always a good guy and a bad guy. An example of this kind of story would be Beowulf, where as Beowulf is the protagonist and Grendel is the antagonist. Grendel would come into the town and cause chaos every night, until Beowulf came along and had the courage to stand up to the beast. He killed Grendel bare handed .....

.... which are then counterbalanced by their own subconscious need to be free of the evil deeds that they have committed. The first story we will examine is "The Black Cat". This story first appeared in the United States Saturday Post (The Saturday Evening Post) on August 19, 1843 (Womak). The story opens with the narrator deciding to record the events that led him to murder his wife and the cat as he awaits his execution the next day. The narrator is first described as a gentle, loving man who would never hurt a fly. He has a pet cat that he loves more than anything in the world. After so .....
